[39e] Red/Yellow wounds gone in days
« on: July 26, 2008, 02:34:31 pm »
I started a new fortress with the advent of Version 39e, I had a wave of immigrants come that started at the other side of a chasm from my fort. One of the dwarves was attacked by some skeletal Cave Swallowmen, I had saved while he was in the middle of fighting them. I sent some other nearby dwarves to help him because he had suffered a red injury on the hip and a yellow on on his right elbow. The first dwarf that got there finished off the last cave swallowman and then I derecruited him and turned off everything but health care to take him back to the fort. However, after just a few steps the dwarf stopped being carried and simply started to walk back to the base. I inspected his wounds and he was completely fine, nothing broken/mangled.

I have a save of the dwarf still fighting the cave swallowman, but Im not sure if his quick healing will repeat. I'll try save scumming to check and if it does Ill upload the save somewhere.

No, and upon save scumming it and trying it again, the healing is gradual, his elbow and arm healed first (both yellow), and then his hip healed (red), there's no season change involved, the dwarf simply heals miraculously.

Also, its not a problem with all my dwarves, I continued playing the game, and my carpenter/axedwarf went out to fight off a wave of skeletal mountain goats and took some injuries and he is still recovering from them a month later. (No season change yet, so his yellow damages are still there)

I have had this happen as well. A dwarf's nose was turned red by a rat... three seconds later, it was perfectly fine. No season change. Don't have that save, though.

It's all random and weird.  We'll just have to wait for the item I put up on dev_next.
